US researchers poisoned disabled kids with radioactive oatmeal, injected a man with plutonium then cut off his leg to recover the tissue, and irradiated cancer patients until a quarter died, then walked free with zero charges.
When MIT and the Atomic Energy Commission ran the Fernald tests from 1946 to 1953, they told parents it was a science club. After the 1947 plutonium injection at UCSF they said the amputation was a medical necessity.
The 1993 investigation forced the records open and confirmed thousands of tests on 16,000 people. Clinton apologized in 1995, the government paid $4.8 million, and no scientist was prosecuted. The institutions never faced a criminal reckoning.— Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) October 24, 2026
Between 1960 and 1971 Saenger used Pentagon money to dose 88 patients as nuclear battlefield proxies without full consent.
